Pune, India -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/07/2017 -- Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) is a small glucose sensor (electrodes) inserted under the skin that keeps in check the glucose levels in interstitial fluid. The sensor stays in body for several days to a week before being replaced.

A transmitter that is placed on the body sends information about the level of glucose via radio waves from the sensor to a wireless monitor that could be in the form of a wristband or it could be an app on the smartphone that allows the patient to view their glucose measurements.
